Course
Description: The purpose of this course is
to serve as a rigorous introduction to
analysis on the real number system.
We construct the real numbers from scratch, and we
prove their fundamental properties.
We study a number of important and famous theorems
such as the Weierstrass approximation theorem,
the Weierstrass nowhere differentiable function, the intermediate value
theorem,, and
and so forth. This class is hard work, and it is demanding. But it is worth it.

Elements
of the Course:
Homework: 25% of grade
Midterm Exam: (2 of these) each 25% of grade
Final Exam: 25% of grade
TOTAL: 100%
The homework is an essential part of this course.
Each new idea
builds
on previous ideas, so it is essential to master and internalize each
one
when you encounter it. Be sure to do the homework in a regular and timely
fashion. Homework should
be written out on 8.5" x 11" paper and submitted
on time. It will be graded. We will
use the CrowdMark system for submitting
homework. What you will
do then is scan your homework and submit it OnLine.
When a homework assignment
is formulated, CrowdMark
will let you know and tell you how to submit..
Be familiar with this Web page. This is where homework assignments will be
posted, homework solutions posted, exam solutions posted, due dates will be posted,
and also where exams and other course events
and information
will be announced.
We will decide when our midterm exams will be.
If there are particular days when you do not want an exam (for a religious
holiday or other reason), please let me know.
